DG Eclipse available... (Second try)

An update... As I write this, my girlfriend is at home waiting for the delivery truck to show up with the Eclipse... I'm sure she'll call me when it arrives and sees how big it is. *grin*

In any case, it's going in the garage for now... when I get back from vacation, I'll be able to get started on making it work. Photos to follow...
